Polaris Native API (Point One Open) is one of 3 APIs that [Point One Navigation](https://apis.io/providers/point-one-navigation/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include RTK, GNSS, Corrections, RTCM, and Streaming. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

The native Point One corrections protocol. A Polaris API key is POSTed unauthenticated to https://api.pointonenav.com/api/v1/auth/token and exchanged for a bearer access token valid for 604800 seconds; the client then opens a TLS stream to rtk.pointonenav.com:8090, sends an Authorization system message carrying the token, and periodically reports its position as an ECEF or LLA system message. The server returns RTCM3 corrections outside the system-message envelope. Messages use a 0xB5 0x62 framed, little-endian, checksummed binary format.
